Abstract

In a preceding study3 of the fluorination of 4-chloro-1, 3-bis-(trifluoromethyl)-benzene, a tetrafluoride addition product to the ring was isolated and characterized for the first time, but no aromatic products were formed in the reaction. The present paper reports a considerable extension of this work, and deals with the fluorination of a number of progressively more and more highly deactivated aromatic compounds, namely, 1, 4-difluorobenzene, ...
